Conversation sounds like under water (bubbling) iphone 3g

Yesterday on about 25% the calls I made or received on my iphone 3g, the person who answered sounded like they were underwater. What I mean is that their voice was unintelligible, and sounded like something buubling up from under water. If you are old enough to remember what the underwater people sounded like on 'Stingray', well, it was like that.
It's the same today.
I also have that thing going on where the first time I make a call it fails and I have to make the call again. That happens about 25% of the time as well.
Plus, my phone has been slow since I updated the software just after the iphone 4 came out, but that's old news now, withy still no solution.
I am on the latest version of iOS4
Any ideas anyone - a reset hasn't helped me.

I have the exact same problems - 'underwater' calls and first time call failing. Just 'googled' this before marching the phone back to Carphone Warehouse!! I have 3gs using software version 4.1 and am on O2 also.
I know I've not been any help - but at least it appears to not just be you!

  • Microphone sounds like under water since update

    Me and my boyfriend both updated our phones a few months ago and since then when we have calls, people always comment one minute they can hear us, the next it's like we are under water and they can't hear a word, This is extremely annoying as we always have signal and it's only been an issue since update, Anyone else having same problem? We both have z1 compact, was told by Sony to repair software but we will lose stuff if don't save it and can take an hour but why should we have to do this when fault isn't ours?!

  • Music sounds like it is under water

    Hi all,
    I recently got a new computer... IBM Thinkpad T43 and I installed iTunes 6. Now when I play music it sounds like it is under water or experiencing interference from somewhere. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but that didn't help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I experience the exact problem, but I cant find the topic where there was a solution posted... my ITunes Music very often sounds like under water, static interferences and all the rest of it, but the files are not damaged, they work perfectly well in WMP, WinAmp, RealPlayer...

    I would have your carrier check out the iPhone. But I have had this issue with other cell phones and beleive it to be related to how good of a connection your have to the cell tower.
    This forum is for iCloud questions, you may have better luck getting a better answer by posting to the iPhone section here.

  • IPOD sounds like it's being played under water on a very old record player!

    I've had no end of technology problems lately. I transfered all of my mp3s and IPOD info to my new external hard drive. Which I can no longer access. I downloaded iTunes to my C drive again and plugged in my IPOD. It was not recognized by Windows or iTunes. I was forced to unplug it while it still read "do not unplug" or whatever the warning message is. Two nights later (last night), I tried again and was able to get it registered to my laptop and new version of iTunes.
    I was all excited and downloaded a bunch of Podcasts, thinking that all was well! But it's not I'm at work trying to listen and my new podcasts and pre-existing music are all garbled! It's not every second of every file, but it's a majority of it. The files sound "scratchy" and like you're hearing it from under water - kinda muffled and "bubbly?" I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but it's freaking me out!
    how do I fix?

    Thanks to a Best Buy GeekSquad member, I figured out that my IPOD was fine, but my headphones were toasted!!!

  • Sounds like it's under water!

    I'm trying to clean some traffic noise from behind dialogue that was recorded at a busy intersection.
    Using Set Noise Print and Reduce Noise.
    I can get the traffic sounds down but the resulting audio sounds tinny and like it's under water.
    Any way around this problem?

    That usually happens when you try to remove too much noise relative to the signal you want to retain. When using the Sountrack Pro noise removal tool, try to preview the sound/track in question with the "Noise Only" option enabled. Then, tweak the noise-reduction so that as little (technically none but...) of the original signal that you want to keep is audible. The treble/bass slider can be very effective with dialogue.
    Additionally you can lower the threshold and the amount of reduction, but just play around until you get the result which works the best.
    However, you can never remove 100% of broadband noise without affecting the original/intended signal. It's more a choice of the end relationship which hopefully is satisfactory.
    A couple different ones. They work.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   RME FF800, Logic Pro, Sonnox Native Bundle & FCS

  • When it export a song to itunes, it sounds like its being played under water

    songs seem to export okay. it creates a mix. but when i play back the itunes track, it sounds like it is under water.
    i've done it properly before, somehow...
    thanks.

    Maybe you should define "fuzzy". If it's the same as "distorted", you should check if either the single track meters or the general volume meter in GB show clipping. Generally GB is more tolerant and you only hear it on the mixdown.

  • SB Audigy2 ZS PCI+Logitech Headset= Voice sounds like its under water

    I tried using my Logitech Headset this evening on my desktop to communicate with my buds over mumble while playing BF3 and no matter how many settings I messed around with in both Win7 x64 or the mumble software my voice was crackled and distorted. Now I know for a fact my headset is not the problem, since I use it daily on my laptop at work to talk to people over Skype & GoToMeeting and I'm crystal clear and I even plugged it back into my lappy afterwards and listened to myself speak, and it was fine. The problem must be with the Sound Card. Is this something to do with the settings or is this a sign my card/drivers are bad?

    Hi,
    Disconnect your headset and just plug in a microphone and do a microphone recording. Playback what you have recorded, do you sound like you are underwater? That will narrow down if it's the sound card that's causing the problem. Also try running other games to see if same problem is happening.

  • I have a water damage iPhone 5s would like to change to new set with top up the money. But the staff told me it couldn't be done due to some of my minor parts are missing according to company policy. I need advise as I want to change it.

    Hi all,
    I have a water damage iPhone 5s was bring to service center to have new set change with top up the money. Well, the staff were told me that the phone can't be change due to some of minor parts are missing in the phone. He said this is due to company policy. I would like to check is that nothing can do with this missing minor parts? I really doubt the policy of the Apple as I was told as long as you bring to the service center, they will assists. As Apple is a well known brand top of the world, but the servicing is really make me so disappointed! I really doubt should I still continue to support the Apple product with helpless service!
    Would like to take this opportunity to seek the professional advise in order to get my phone change back.
    Appreciate very much!
    Thanks.

    Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    The question was the phone is under water - not muffled nor low sound.  It is getting regular that my iPhone 4S and others I know get the sound distorted as though it is under water.  I have reset the phone, turned off wifi (Apple said do this). What can be done?

    Thank you. I rang Vodafone and although they were not too technical - they suggested my speaker was broken and was probably interfering with the microphone sound out as well. So thank you for the clue - I must admit to not thinking of ringing my carrier supplier.  Thank goodness for two things - it is intermittent and I am due an upgrade phone in 6 weeks.  I can manage till then I hope with the watery sound from time to time. 

  • Is there a way to selectively edit a conversation in iMessages instead of clearing the entire conversation? Like you can do on the iPhone for instance.

  • My iphone 4 started making a sound like "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does it at least once a day.  I've reset my phone, used icloud to restore, and it made the sound again upon startup.  Help!  This is so annoying.

    My iphone 4 started making a sound like a "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does this at least once a day.  It started about a month ago.  Anyone got any ideas?

    Mine does this also, seemingly randomly several times throughout the day.  I do not have this sound as any of my alerts and it does not seem to denote anything like a message, reminder, etc.  I do have "Trapster" on my phone and I went in and tweaked the settings there.  Will repost if that has any efect.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and when i lightly tap on the back top part of my phone it sounds like something is rattling inside. Only on the top part of the phone, not on the bottom. I am wondering if anyone knows what this may be and should i have it looked at?

    Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
